ItDan ThirySaturday, October 14, 2017Dude, how can you not have zbrush. Whether you are a hobbyist or a professional, Zbrush is just a fantastic program with great response time from their customer service line. The community is also quite helpful and plenty of people use it. There is an abundant amount of resources that any new user will be able to learn the program quickly.

It's versatile from creating 3D models to creating detailed displacement maps for low poly models. I want to make it a 5 star review, but I think it would be rad if they added a VR plug-in. ;PReviewProduct3180

The Closest To Traditional Pencil And PaperRudolph AgrestaMonday, August 28, 2017As a 2D animator and educator, TV Paint, in my opinion is the best digital based program to teach and easily demonstrate the nuances of traditional hand drawn animation. It is also a super program for fully and completely rendering your film without the need of Photoshop and the like for producing your artwork that would need to be scanned and imported into an animation program; however, if the latter is your preferred method of operation, TV Paint can be utilized in just that fashion. Awesome and highly recommended!ReviewProduct10002

A fantastic program at a great priceChristopher DielTuesday, May 23, 2017Zbrush is vital for anyone doing CGI work for games or film, anyone looking to do 3D print sculpting or illustrators looking to incorporate 3D renders into their work. It is worth the normal price but the student pricing is a fantastic discount on a must have program. Fantastic all around!ReviewProduct3601

As someone used to parametric modelling in Inventor, rhino feels like a significant step backwards. Sure it's got way more useful surface and spline modelling tools, but it just feels klunky and limited. For instance, fillets need to be done in a specific order (large to small) in order to not break your model! Once a small fillet is applied, you'd need to revert to a save prior to the small fillet in order to apply a larger fillet to a touching edge. Lunacy :-(

However, if you model (or import) geometry, and apply interesting things in Grasshopper, there is significant power. Grasshopper has blown my mind. It's not perfect, but it's incredibly powerful, and fairly fast to use. I wish there was better documentation on all the various functions. Perhaps one day soon there will be.

TL;DRBuy rhino only to get access to grasshopper and it's plugins.ReviewProduct2572

Tasty!Steven HallMonday, April 10, 2017First off, I love this stuff. I often double-dip this stuff while at breakfast by the pool... oh wait, I'm thinking of Hawaiian POI! What I like about MOI is that it's name is synonymous with it's utility. I've literally had an idea and jumped in the poi just to get an idea out of my head! I'd like it to be able to resolve intersections and ensuring I'm working with solids and not surfaces at times, but for the most part it'll get every job done.ReviewProduct2985
